CPCS training from RPS & RCGP

What is CPCS?

GPs will soon be referring patients to you for diagnosis and treatment recommendations, as part of the Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS).

It's a big step up in responsibilities for pharmacists and pharmacy.

Are you ready?

We’re running free CPCS workshops for community pharmacists across England.
